Time 40m

Yield 4-5

Number Of Ingredients 17

Oven-baked Parmesan Chicken
3 TBSP. Dijon mustard
1 TBSP. white wine vinegar
½ tsp. salt
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1¼ lb. skinless, boneless chicken thighs or breasts (or chicken tenders)
1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
3 TBSP. butter, melted
Cool Ranch Dipping Sauce
⅓ cup buttermilk
⅔ cup light mayonnaise
1 med. clove of garlic, grated on a microplane (or similar grater)
½ tsp. Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1 TBSP. fresh dill, minced
2 TBSP. fresh chives, minced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or heavy-duty foil and place a rack on it. Spray the rack lightly with oil.
  • Whisk together the mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until they are well blended. Cut the chicken into ⅔" thick pieces or strips (or use chicken tenders, which are already about the size you want for this recipe. If you prefer a larger serving size of chicken, you can also butterfly the chicken into two thinner cutlets.). Add the chicken to the bowl and coat well on all sides.
  • In a separate, shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and a pinch of black pepper (optional). Mix well and then stir in the melted butter.
  • Dredge the chicken pieces in the breadcrumb mixture, gently pressing the breadcrumbs into the chicken pieces. Move the dredged chicken to the wire rack.
  • Place the baking sheet on the center rack of the oven and bake until the chicken is golden-crisp and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Do not overcook it.
  • To make the dipping sauce, combine all the ingredients for the cool Ranch sauce in a small bowl and refrigarate. (The sauce is best if made ahead of time).

This was an okay recipe. The chicken was cooked well, but the parmesan crust was a bit too salty for my taste.

Not a fan of this recipe. The chicken was bland and the parmesan crust was soggy.

This chicken was a bit dry and the parmesan crust was not as crispy as I would have liked.

This was an okay recipe. The chicken was cooked well, but the parmesan crust was a bit too salty for my taste. The cool ranch sauce was good, but it didn't really go with the chicken.
